Do you still owe real estate taxes after foreclosure?

The property taxes are owed by the owner. When the property is sold at auction the debt stays with the property. If the winning bidder is the lender then the lender ends up with the obligation. Until the tax is paid a lien will remain on the property's title.


Can a house be foreclosed on if there is no mortgage?

Absolutely. Mortgage defaults are not the only trigger for a foreclosure. Even though the outstanding debt or mortgage has been paid off, taxes are levied against the property yearly. Delinquent property taxes may trigger the tax title foreclosure process. In addition, Homeowners Associations can initiate foreclosure in the attempt to collect overdue fees. The federal government may also initiate the foreclosure process to collect taxes owed to Uncle Sam. There may be other instances, but for the most part, these are the most common.


How long can one stay in a paid for home without paying property taxes in the Tennessee?

In Tennessee, property taxes are typically due annually, and failure to pay can lead to penalties and potential foreclosure. However, there is no specific grace period for living in a home without paying property taxes. Once taxes are overdue, the county can initiate foreclosure proceedings as early as one year after the taxes are delinquent. It's important for homeowners to understand their local tax laws and seek assistance if they are facing difficulties in making payments.

Who is responsible for maintaining a property in foreclosure?

For as long as the foreclosure process is going on, the original owners of the property will still have legal possession. This makes them responsible for maintaining the property, paying the real estate taxes, and keeping insurance paid up to date in case of damage or destruction. Since they still own the house, they must keep on top of all of the responsibilities of maintaining the property in good condition. Of course, it is especially important for homeowners to keep up on the maintenance if they are eventually successful in finding a solution to stop foreclosure. Letting a home fall into disrepair and then saving the home but having to clean up afterwards is not a good start to financial recovery. Even if it is just a second home or investment property, homes in foreclosure should be kept in as good of condition as possible. For homeowners who are unable to avoid losing the property, though, they will no longer be responsible for maintaining it when ownership is transferred through the foreclosure legal process. This typically happens once the sheriff sale has been conducted and the winning bid confirmed by the local court system. At this point, the foreclosure victims will no longer have title to the home, and it will be up to the new owner (usually the bank) to make sure the property is kept up.

What does barred by foreclosure mean?

When a foreclosure is conducted according to law, the debtor's right of redemption is forever barred by the foreclosure. That means the debtor has lost the title to the property and the lender is the new owner. That phrase is also used when a municipality takes possession of a property for non-payment of real estate taxes through a judicial process. The final court decree in a tax title case forever bars the delinquent owner's right of redemption by reason of the tax foreclosure.
